Nwabisa Tolom Said That.

Nwabisa’s creative journey has taken her from Joburg to New York, San Francisco and Amsterdam, shaping how she thinks about ideas, craft and culture. Now a Creative Director at TBWA working on brands like Savanna, she brings a global perspective to the work, grounded in human behaviour and South Africa’s uniquely textured humour. In this conversation, she reflects on working across cultures, what separates a good copywriter from a great one, how she chooses collaborators, and why the ideas that scare you a little are often the ones worth fighting for.

Meet South Africa’s Cannes Lions Judges 2024

Being selected as a judge at Cannes is a massive achievement. It’s a testament to the respect the industry has for you on an international scale. We know that while a lot of us will be basking in the glitz and canapes Cannes has to offer, these judges will be toiling away in dark rooms, sifting through all the entries to identify the most outstanding work the world has to offer. Not to mention the Cannes Lions Shortlist judges who already had to work overtime and in between their own pitches back home! We see you, and we salute you.
